When it comes to clean hydrogen, African countries have a lot to gain, and a lot to lose. In a #Voices article for @CipherClimate, the Hub's newest senior policy analyst @Fellow_Meron breaks down the buzz into six facts to keep you grounded. buff.ly/3Xnqn7o

E-fuels offers a solution to #decarbonization sectors like #aviation. @Fellow_Meron and Ben Longstreth write about the need for policy support. bit.ly/3JGtnUg

Did you grow up wanting to be a carbon middle manager? Do you love The Climate (tm)? I've got jobs for you Here's a thread of positions from policy, to comms, to engineering and everything else I could find! 🧵👇

Operation Warp Speed utilized $18B in demand-side support to spur rapid innovation & deploy COVID vaccines
  Now, demand-side tools are revolutionizing clean energy markets
  @BPC_Bipartisan report (ft.Captain Demand) helps you get up to speed on demand-side policy 1/7🧵

Happy Carbon day (12.01) to all my carbon-based colleagues! @ENERGY has been going HAM on some great CO2 mgmt announcements recently and rounded out nicely with an event today. A🧵on a few favorite Carbon mgmt resources from @BPC_Bipartisan this year, in case you missed them!

More innovation is needed to reduce emission in the harder to decarbonize industrial sector. BPC Action is glad to see @EPWCmte & @EPWGOP working on solutions.

How to build demand for clean hydrogen -very good explainer from @amenasaiyid in @CipherClimate that draws on some recent @BPC_Bipartisan work from @ItsJohnJacobs and @Fellow_Meron ciphernews.com/articles/how-t…

DOE's new hydrogen demand-side program could change how agencies launch clean energy markets. For H2Hubs to thrive, H2 producers need customers. Demand-side support can clear hurdles to liftoff. @BPC_Bipartisan convened stakeholders to discuss program design. 3 Key Takeaways:

9/9 🏧 Provide loans, grants, & tax credits 📈Bolster demand-side pull 🤗Use project, community & labor benefit agreements and practices. Achieving commercialization and realizing Industrial Decarbonization by 2050 is estimated to require $700–1,100B in capital expenditure.💸

8/9 The report outlines 7⃣ solutions needed to reach national industrial decarbonization goals: ✅De-risk & reduce cost through demonstrations 🔄Integrate decarbonization with capital planning 💿Diversify technology with RD&D 🛣️Accelerate expansion of infrastructure ...

Another excellent Pathways to Commercial Liftoff report from @Energy & @OTTatDOE 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This one focused on identifying commercialization needs for✨Industrial Decarbonization✨ Our intern, Anne-Charlotte and I dug through it & you should too😉 🧵 liftoff.energy.gov/industrial-dec…

@BPC_Bipartisan continues to hold ✨️ high hopes✨️ for these #H2Hubs as they move to the next phase of the process. Read more about our excitement 👇🏽 bipartisanpolicy.org/press-release/…

Made possible by Bipartisan Congressional action, clean #H2Hubs will leverage public-private parterships to jumpstart key investments, enabling economic and climate wins.

It's official ! @ENERGY has released the winners of the Regional Clean #H2hubs program !!! @BPC_Bipartisan @TheAEIC energy.gov/articles/biden…
